I use Window Washer to delete all the unwanted files. It also cleans out all the history in certain programs like windows media player. I think it costs 29.95 if not mistaken. You can also go to search and find your "temp"files folder and delete the contents from there but DON'T delete the folder itself. Hope this helps

I use Il system wiper. It works great and I think they have a demo you can download.

You can do a search for *.tmp and then delete everything it finds; that is another way.

That's the way I normally do it and it works fine with me.

Super Cleaner does a good job, and has some other features. Also cleans the .DAT files on reboot after running.
